Hold on to the edge of your toilet seat, “Big Shot Rob” is about to break Kareem’s record for most career playoff games played. Everywhere the man goes, he produces:
1) During his initial four year in the NBA he helped the Rockets win the NBA championship in 1994 and 1995 , all the while setting individual NBA Finals records with seven steals in one game and five 3-pointers in a quarter. He also hit the game-winning jumper of Game 1 of the Rockets 1995 Western Conference Finals series vs. the San Antonio Spurs.
2) Horry was an integral part of the Los Angeles Lakers three-peat (2000-2002.) Starting with his game-winning three pointers in the 2001 Finals; he continued to make at least one game-winning three pointer in the following three series. None bigger in my mind than game 4 in 2002 vs. the Sacramento Kings. Man, I will never forget that shot.
3) In game 5 of the 2005 NBA Finals “fourth quarter” Horry held true to his nickname and scored 21 of the teams final 35 points. Sealing a one point victory and putting his Spurs into a 3 – 2 series lead.
4) Big Shot Rob holds the record for most three pointers ever in the NBA finals with 57.
5) Coming into this years playoffs, the NBA’s list for active playoff leaders has Horry listed as follows:. Ninth for points (1,916), fourth for rebounds (1,329), seventh for assists (567), fifth for blocks (220), and second in minutes played (6,669.)
6) The man has, with his last two championships with the Spurs, amassed more championships (7) than Michael Jordan (6.)
7) No player has been able to reach the amount of NBA championships that Horry has accumulated in his NBA career since eight other players from the Boston Celtics glory days in the 60’s. (Bill Russel, Sam Jones, Tom Heinsohn, KC Jones, Tom Sanders, John Havlicek, Jim Loscutoff, and Frank Ramsey)
8) Last but not least, during the span of his sixteen year career Horry has never missed the playoffs nor has he lost a first round series.
I personally remember running into Robert Horry in Los Angeles numerous times during his stint on the Lakers. He was always kind and humble in spite of his greatness. So, dear fourth quarter if this is your last year in the NBA we at sportstoilet.com would like to congratulate you on a hall of fame career.

Remeber when I bitch slapped Turbo in front of Horry at Papa Jake's? Horry laughed. I would like to think I inspired 4th Quarter through this interaction...
